Meanwhile Isolde crooned a lullaby to her stomach, and the babies&#8217; mascots danced and fidgeted nervously. The rainbow armadillo lurched close to me and <em>one of the animal&#8217;s spongy feet<\/em> came down on the top of my fancy dress shoes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ouch!&#8221; I complained, but the rest of my outcry was preempted by <em>an explosive movement<\/em> below us in the water. The viscount&#8217;s submarine floundered on the waves, spewing flames.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221; cried Fleur. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got him now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The armadillo clapped its big, plush hands, its head tipped back in hysterical laughter. The costume gapped between the oversized head and the squishy neon chest plate. Through the gap I could see the person&#8217;s neck and <em>noticed a strange mark<\/em> on the skin, a birthmark in the shape of a mushroom. My blood turned to ice.<\/p>\n<p>Fleur directed her pilots to strafe the baby-shaped submarine. <em>&#8220;No son of mine will be<\/em> raised by a Svenborgian.&#8221; She spat the last word. &#8220;And no daughter, either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The armadillo was becoming more agitated by the second. It stomped on me again, edging toward Fleur&#8217;s seat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you <em>watch your fat feet<\/em>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Viscount<\/span>?&#8221; I said. With one hand I scooped my daughter out of the armadillo&#8217;s front carrier, while with the other I yanked the bobbly mascot head off, exposing Arlo&#8217;s bald head and eyepatch. With that mushroom birthmark it was no wonder he always wore turtlenecks.<\/p>\n<p>Fleur and Isolde gasped to find the traitor aboard our zeppelin.<\/p>\n<p>bonus points for using them in order<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stichomancy Writing Prompts\" href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompts\/\">about stichomancy writing prompts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/stichomancy-writing-prompt-generator\/\">try our stichomancy writing prompt generator!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>one of the animal\u2019s spongy feet an explosive movement noticed a strange mark \u201cNo son of mine will be watch your fat feet Tune in next time part 329 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Click Here for Earlier Installments Fleur stayed riveted to the battle outside the zeppelin&#8217;s windows, radioing instructions to her fighter jets and the aircraft [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[319,4],"tags":[91,403,486],"class_list":["post-5954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stichomancy-prompts","category-writing-prompts","tag-bonus-points","tag-tune-in-next-time","tag-zeppelin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5954"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5958,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5954\/revisions\/5958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeskelley.com\/skelleyverse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
